Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

2. 2

   Unroll the pie crust and press it gently into a 9-inch pie dish or tart pan. Crimp the edges if desired.

3. 3

   Place the crust in the refrigerator to chill while you prepare the filling.

4. 4

   In a skillet over medium heat, cook the chopped bacon until crispy. Add the diced onion during the last 2 minutes of cooking to soften. Drain on paper towels.

5. 5

   Scatter the cooked bacon, onions, and shredded Gruyère cheese evenly over the bottom of the chilled pie crust.

6. 6

   In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, salt, pepper, and nutmeg until well combined and slightly frothy.

7. 7

   Pour the egg mixture carefully over the bacon and cheese filling in the crust.

8. 8

   Bake for 35 to 45 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is golden brown. A knife inserted in the center should come out clean.

9. 9

   Remove from the oven and let the quiche cool for at least 15 minutes before slicing. Garnish with fresh chives.
